magicafternoon 38 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Lol delayed until who knows when~ This saga of delays has reached comical levels. I wish everyone in China good health and safety. Edited January 30, 2020 by magicafternoon 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zamasu 258 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 For once the delays are because of factors 100% outside of their control. Sure it sucks as always, but this time it's absolutely understandable. Previous times the delays were always because of things either they or their partners had some control over, or they could've anticipated. 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
__fastcall 97 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 So Dragonbox Shop had one QWERTZ Pro1 on their shop. I bought it, but it's yet unpaid. It's 60€ to have it now, instead of waiting more. I'm pretty sure it will take a whole month or more to get the Pro from FxTec directly. I know it's out of their control this time, but this goes on for half a year now and my current phone is more broken every day so I'm evaluating if it makes sense to spend more now..

Previous times the delays were always because of things either they or their partners had some control over, or they could've anticipated. When delays start to be this long, you are bound to be hit by factors that are not under your control. Not that it changes anything, but it's 6 months since payment was due. I just wonder for how long can a company survive with such delays. In tech world, in half a year not only does your hardware grow older faster, but it also kills all future sales if you cannot provide the product 2-3 months after the general availability should have started. Not that I care about the specs personally. I'm still using a phone from 2012.. On the positive side Sailfish port will get better day by day 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToniCipriani 194 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 At this rate I have friends coming back from Hong Kong soon... Can FxTec let them go to Expansys to pick it up directly for me? 😆 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradP 0 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I saw Pro1 in stock at Clove technology UK so I wanted to buy it after my order cancelation and refund confirmed but few hours later it' gone and said "Please Note: Stock expected week commencing 16th March" gosh! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish everyone in China good health and safety. In crowded China, the safest place for FX workers to be is at the factory right now. What do they have like 5 people working there? *going by earlier posted picks of their assembly line* 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shilor 71 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 is there any new information about the current corona virus lockdown and is there any idea when production will start again? the wait is really hard to bear 😢 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Wonder what percentage of workers show up on Monday; I think it's the first day they're allowed back, but maybe also the first day they're allowed to travel? Haven't paid attention to current travel restrictions.... I bet they'll be very short-staffed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlavi 112 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Would anybody know where the F(x)Tec factory is located? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kin9 12 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hi, I am from Hong Kong. I know most of the city in China will return to work until 20th Feb. Also, most of the check point of Hong Kong are closed. There is only one land transportation method can be used to ship the stock. It is very disgusting that the Chinese Gov conceal the news about the virus. When you get the phone, PLEASE DISINFECT IT. More than 10k chinese is infected. Absolutely 10k is the number released by Chi Gov. I believe that the actual number is far greater. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If assumptions are right, then its in outskirts of Shenzhen, about an hour from Hong Kong border; closest landmark on google maps is Yingzhan Garden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SchattengestaIt 559 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 You all know that the phones are assembled with gloves, facial masks and some kind of hair protection? Yes, the virus can survive that long in special cases. But if production was that unhigienic, you'd have hairs, fingerprints and saliva on your phones when receiving it. Also, if it was a threat, international trades would already have been prohibited. 2 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even our PCB production partner can not predict when they are able to assembly our panels - not related to F(x)tec. Edited February 11, 2020 by VaZso 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sixaxis 36 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 the virus seems to have a better chance of reaching me than pro1 :( 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
